The article reports on the closure of the Vatican Apostolic Library in the Vatican City. Bishop Raffaele Farina, prefect of the library, noted that the library building, constructed according to the 1587 design of Domenico Fontana, needed to be renovated due to weakening concrete. Beginning in April 2008, scholars will be able to consult an on-line catalogue, contact library officials by electronic mail and obtain photographic reproductions and digital images of manuscripts and prints.
